Master the next generation of AI tools to automate documentation, analyze site data, and build your own engineering software.
This course explores the most advanced surfaces of the Claude ecosystem, where Claude shifts from chatbot to coworker. Through realistic scenarios from the Maple Creek Bridge Replacement Project, participants apply six capabilities built for engineering practice. Voice Mode turns drive time and site time into productive dictation and thinking sessions. Vision Mode makes every photo and scan answerable, from progress photos to boring logs. Cowork delegates multistep jobs across whole project folders, making your absence productive for the first time. Code lets you describe a tool in plain English and keep working software. Plugins deliver installable expertise in one click. Claude Science offers a report from the research frontier. The course confronts the accountability question directly: delegation never includes the seal. What you hand to an agent is the reading and the assembly; what you keep is the judgment and the responsibility. Every output remains a draft for review by a licensed engineer.
